Excellent wifi
Quiet during the weekend
Lots of hot water in shower
General maintenance of apartment is not good.
Dishwasher fell apart when opened, so could not be used.

Rubbish bins outside full.

The apartment had all Modern conveniences and it is fairly close to the centre of town
There is a massive construction project 2m from the front door, which as of now July 2023 will still continue for another two years. we woke up to drilling and heavy vehicles from before 8 a.m. in the morning and this usually only finished after 6 p.m, even Saturdays. we couldn't have doors or windows open because of all the dust coming in. This apartment is supposed to sleep four, but has one bathroom upstairs and no further guest toilet.
the floor is wood with huge gaps, there are no rugs, and sound reverberates all around the house from upstairs, from downstairs, and from adjacent rooms. There's absolutely no privacy because of this. We booked for a week and were not left a change of bedding or towels and one single dish cloth. No rag for cleaning, and there was no clean offered during our week-long stay. We asked for a change of linen, and were told that it would cost £75. incredibly they expected us to put out their large garbage bins. I have a housekeeper and a gardener at home I have not touched a bin in probably two decades.
The crockery is from a rummage sale, a mismatch of plates and mugs. No side plates, no saucers, no cups.
There are places in this house that have not been cleaned for months, from the dust accumulation. We found dirty plates and pots in the cupboards on arrival.
Given the pricing, add a few quid and book 2 rooms at the Randolph in the City Centre.

Location was good. Decent space for a teenage and family.
The check in process with security check. Just take my advice - don’t do it. Leading up to the stay I was getting no less that 3-5 messages a day asking me to provide ID, pay extra for a security fee, sign some online authorisation. They use an agency and an accomodation ID checking company. Bottom line, I like others had my info hacked by ONE of them. Was getting WhatsApp messages that all ALL my details - name, mobile number, place I was staying, dates we were staying. Then wanted me to click on a link and provide credit card details to a live operator! No one has taken responsibility for this.
House was renovated (cheaply) about 7 years ago (when the online photos are from) but is been absolutely trashed by short term lease stays and the owners don’t care. No cleaning products, vacuum doesn’t work, cupboard doors fallen off as well as baseboards, random junk in so many of the cupboards, dog beds, suitcases, old letters. It’s like the owners just up and left. Then backyard is not pleasant. Weeds growing up through the instant turf, furniture falling apart.
We stayed here twice. Once when I dropped my son at college then again when I picked him up. For the price I would have found another place or a hotel. But we had already pre paid. Filthy used tea towels….Just don’t do it - and find some where else and read all the other reviews!!

Location was great. Quiet residential area. 10 minutes easy walk into town. House had a good feeling, was comfortable and has great potential. Real shame it hasn’t been maintained and other little issues.
No toilet paper upon arrival, all soft furnishings (bar stools, sofa) really stained and marked. Need to be either replaced or cleaned by a professional. Beds and bedding comfortable and clean. Shower drain blocked and extremely slow, whole
House needs a thorough deep clean. I’d say the photos are from about 6+ years ago when the house was first renovated. Definitely not new and sparkling anymore! Was hard to keep clean while we were staying there as there were no cleaning products! Some surface spray to clean the kitchen, some toilet cleaner would have been good.
3.5
- good location for WALKING. If you need a car or taxi the road is blocked due to construction road works so there is NO ACCESS
- bright, light kitchen
- letting agent breached data protection, so my credit card details were shared and I’ve been subjected to fraud. The agent and the website are not acknowledging this at all.
- Bedding doesn’t fit beds
- Bathroom window is old and broken, doesn’t close and is a security risk
- Lounge sofa is old and dirty
- Property is tired and worn, so you can stay at a much nicer hotel in Oxford for the price point

Location, outdoor space, (supposed) charm.
No hot water, nasty, stained couches and chairs, the dishwasher was horrible and poor support from mgt company.
3.5
The home is close to bus routes and train station. It was easy to get into city centre and quiet but safe at night.
3.5
spacious property
Not the cleanest, e.g. areas were dusty and with cobwebs, kitchen baseboard was broken, several lights didn’t work throughout property, wardrobe door hinges were broken, toilet had limescale, open packets of food left in the cupboard on arrival.
The property is adjacent to a building site which we were not informed of. All surfaces were covered in brick dust, it was loud, and you could feel the drill vibrations whilst inside the house.
We felt we were sold a modern, luxury townhouse in central Oxford, however we were outside the centre, and the standard of the property would not be described as modern or luxurious. We feel we paid excessively for what felt like a cheap property.
3.5
Very handy location for arrival by train into Oxford
There is significant construction work underway opposite the house. In the morning the house was shaking from the machinery being used on the site and it was noisy. There was no warning about this in advance of our stay despite the fact it seems the construction has been going on for at least a year now

The house was spacious and the property was really quiet. It was really near the Oxford rail as well
The floor was a little dirty and a little far from city centre.
3.5
Lovely to have the doors downstairs fold aside in the hot weather. Nice to have fans in bedrooms as well.
Lovely kitchen but most items in the cupboards were not cleaned properly.

loved the kitchen and garden
rubbish outside house all of our stay
3.5
the location was great, the overall layout of the house was super and the downstairs space was super.
3.5
The property was lovely. It was in a safe area and everything we needed was there. The kitchen was very user friendly, the beds comfortable and the shower excellent. It was so nice that we actually extended our stay by another night.
The pre-booking process. There was a lot of fussing around where I had to set up a profile with another management company after booking on booking.com. Once registered, they tried to flog a membership fee on you. I had multiple emails with them before we checked in, and it was almost enough for me to cancel and book somewhere else.
Once set up with the other management company, we got the code for the keys and it was easy. But I would not book another accommodation again that uses this same set up.

N/a
The property is beginning to look a little tired and needs some maintenance (kitchen skirting boards, cupboard repairs, blistering paintwork in bauthroom).
3.5
Very clean , great quiet location, lovely kitchen and well equipped
The parking was a bit of an issue however the owner does make this clear.
We had a problem with the fire alarm constantly beeping which was eventually sorted on the second evening, no offer of apology or even maybe discount for a lost nights sleep.
The pressure on the boiler was also a problem as the hot water would not work, not a massive issue as I worked out how to top it up, but surely the cleaners should have noticed ?
All little niggles I know but not what you want when you are looking to relax👍
3.5
Great location, great facilities within the house, surrounding area really quiet and close to all major amenities and attractions. We had a fantastic stay and would have no hesitation in going back. Communication from the hosts was excellent.
